Textbook Question

Chapter 13.4, Problem 16E

An experiment was conducted to examine the effect of age on heart rate when subjects perform a specific amount of exercise. Ten male subjects were randomly selected from four age groups: 10–19, 20–39, 40–59, and 60–69. Each subject walked a treadmill at a fixed grade for a period of 12 minutes, and the increase in heart rate—the difference in rates before and after exercise—was recorded (in beats per minute). Preliminary calculations yielded Total SS = 1002.975 and SST = 67.475.

a Construct the associated ANOVA table.

b Do the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate differences in mean increase in heart rate among the four age groups? Test by using α = .05.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...

A researcher wonders whether younger mothers have babies that are significantly heavier or lighter than the population average of μ 7.25 pounds. The researcher collects data from N = 35 babies who were born to mothers between the ages of 16 and 18. The average weight for these babies was M = 7.15 pounds (SD = .6 pounds).

An insurance company selected samples of clients under 18 years of age and over 18 and recorded the number of accidents they had in the previous year. The results are shown below. Under Age 18 Over Age 18 n1 = 500 n2 = 600 Number of accidents = 180 Number of accidents = 150 We are interested in determining if the accident proportions differ between the two age groups.

According to a census company, 7.1% of all babies born are of low birth weight. An obstetrician wanted to know whether mothers between the ages of 35 and 39 years give birth to a higher percentage of low-birth-weight babies. She randomly selected 240 births for which the mother was 35 to 39 years old and found 26 low-birth-weight babies. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. Họ: 0.071 Hy: 0.071 Use technology to compute the P-value for this test. Use the Tech Help button for further assistance. P-value = (Round to three decimal places as needed.) State a conclusion for this test in the context of the obstetrician's question. Choose the correct answer below. O A. Do not reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that mothers between the ages of 35 and 39 years give birth to a higher percentage of low-birth-weight babies at the a = 0.05 level of significance. B. Reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that mothers between the ages of…
